a good idea would be maybe to start playing with IPSec (and maybe with L2TP)
and a certificate deployment environment.

Students will be able to obtain DHCP leases however you configure the default
gateway machine to expect IPSec'ed traffic to be routed. Although the
students might want to keep with the same IP address, this will be short
lived as they find they will be unable to do anything. If they then need a
real IP address too, use L2TP to tunnel it to them.

Traffic could only be IPSec'ed if the student has placed a certificate on
their laptop, which of course has a unique ID and all, so you can actually
track down if students are being stupid and duplicating trackable
certificates.

Although a little overkill you might think, this would let you dispose of any
insecure wireless gateways you also have using WEP; you would be able to us
your Certificate IPSec infrastruction.

have fun
